Before first use
Remove all packaging before use (Fig. 1).
- Place the unit on a stable, level, non-slip, heat-resistant surface.
- Do not position the unit near the edge of a countertop where it could accidentally fall off.
- Do not place the unit on a hot surface such as a stove.
Unwind the power cord fully.
- Clean the unit to remove any residues from the manufacturing process. The appliance may give off a slight odour when you start using it. This is normal due to its newness and does not indicate a manufacturing defect or danger.
To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, we recommend that you rinse the coffee maker by using the brew function before making your first cup of coffee (Fig. 2 to Fig. 23).
Notes on illustrations:
- Do not fill the water tank with water exceeding the MAX mark on the water tank (Fig. 4).
- Do not put coffee into the portafilter basket when rinsing before first use (Fig. 6).
- Make sure the portafilter is securely fixed in the locked position (Fig. 10).
- Place a coffee cup (not provided) on the drip plate, making sure it is placed under the spout of the portafilter (Fig. 11).
- Make sure the steam control knob is in the OFF position before powering on the coffee maker (Fig. 12).
After powering on the coffee maker, the blue ON/OFF indicator light on the control panel starts to flash (Fig. 14). The coffee maker starts to preheat and when the preheating is done, the blue ON/OFF indicator light becomes steady on (Fig. 16).
NOTE: On initial use or when there is air in the unit, a noise may be heard for about 20 seconds as the water pumps through the coffee maker.
Auto power off
If there is no operation within 30 minutes, the coffee maker will power off automatically.
Making espresso
Preheating
Each time before making a cup of good hot espresso coffee, we recommend you warm the coffee maker, including the portafilter, portafilter basket and cup, for example, rinse them with hot water, so that your coffee will not be affected by the parts that are cold. Then, follow the steps in Fig. 2 to Fig. 21 for preheating.
B Product usage
NOTE:
After preheating, you can check and make sure the water is preheated by pressing the brew button, and when the water comes out from the spout, press the brew button again to stop (Fig. 18 to Fig. 20). The coffee maker is ready to start brewing your coffee.
- On initial use or when there is air in the unit, a noise may be heard for about 20 seconds as the water pumps through the coffee maker.
Making espresso
For best results, always preheat the water as shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 21.
To start brewing your espresso, follow the steps in Fig. 24 to Fig. 33.
NOTE:
- Do not leave the coffee maker unattended whilst brewing coffee, as you may need to reposition the cup to catch the coffee being dispensed or to prevent the coffee from spilling out of the cup.
- Recommended single coffee cup is approximately 30ml , and double coffee cup approximately 60ml (Fig. 74). The working time for brewing single-cup coffee is 60 seconds at most, and the coffee maker will stop working if the working time exceeds 60 seconds.
Making hot water
You can use the coffee maker to make hot water for warming coffee cup or making tea, or for cooling down the appliance. Follow the steps in Fig. 34 to Fig. 47.
Heating/frothing milk
You will get a cup of latte or cappuccino when you top up the espresso with frothed milk. You will need a milk jug for frothing. Do not overfill the milk jug as the milk volume increases when you add steam to heat and froth it. Use a large cup that is big enough for the espresso with the frothed milk.
- After preparing your espresso, follow the steps in Fig. 2 to Fig.4 and Fig. 12 to Fig.20 to preheat the coffee maker.
- Follow the steps in Fig. 48 to Fig. 51 to heat up and build up steam pressure.
- Follow the steps in Fig. 52 to Fig. 67 to start frothing milk.
B Product usage
WARNING!
- Never turn the steam control knob rapidly, as the steam will accumulate rapidly in a short time. This may increase the potential of the risk of explosion (Fig. 52).
- Test if the temperature is too high in the coffee maker: After using the "Steam" function for frothing milk, press the brew button and if the brew button ( indicator light and the steam button ( indicator light blink fast together, it means the temperature of the appliance is too high and the appliance needs to be turned off. Allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes or use the "Making hot water" function (Fig. 34 to Fig. 47) to cool down the appliance.
- When the temperature is normal, the frothing pipe will stop pumping water automatically. If the brew button indicator light flashes quickly and the steam button indicator light is off, it indicates that the temperature is too high, the coffee will be burnt and there will be an overflow in the portafilter.
CAUTION: Hot steam can cause burns! Keep your hands and face away from the end of the frothing pipe where the nozzle releases steam.
NOTE:
- During operation, the steam button indicator light will cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature (Fig. 51).
- Fill the milk jug with about 100 ml of milk for one cup of cappuccino. We recommend you use whole milk at refrigerated temperature [Fig. 55]. When choosing the size of the milk jug, we recommend that the diameter of the jug should not be less than 70 ~mm ( ± 5 ~mm ), and bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 times. Make sure the height of the jug is enough.
- Clean the frothing pipe with a wet sponge or cloth immediately after the steam stops generating. Be careful of the remaining hot steam (Fig. 65).
Cleaning and maintenance
Follow the steps in Fig. 68 to Fig. 73 to clean the appliance.
WARNING!
- To prevent the risk of electrocution, unplug the appliance from the mains supply before cleaning.
- Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the appliance, power cable or plug in water or any other liquids as they contain electrical components.
- Never use solvents, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp objects or scouring pads to clean the appliance.
- Dry all parts thoroughly and reassemble before using the appliance.
Dscaling the coffee maker
NOTE:
- Regular descending can avoid the shortening of the coffee maker's expected life span.
- The frequency required for descaling will vary depending on the hardness of the water and how often you use the coffee maker.
- Only use descalers that are made for this specific purpose and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
- Using filtered water will reduce the amount of scale accumulating in the coffee maker.
C Cleaning and maintenance
After about 500 coffee cycles, all indicator lights will flash quickly to alert you that the coffee maker requires descaling. This alert will keep appearing each time you turn on the coffee maker until it is descaled.
- Fill the water tank up to the MAX mark on the water tank (Fig. 4), and then add the descaler as per manufacturer's instructions.
- Follow the steps in Fig. 6 to Fig. 20 to preheat the coffee maker.
- Press the brew button to run a brewing cycle (Fig. 18). Then wait for 5 seconds.
- Press the brew button again to run one more brewing cycle (Fig. 18). Then wait for another 5 seconds.
- Press the steam button (Fig. 43), the blue steam button indicator light on the control panel starts to flash. Wait until the blue steam button indicator light becomes steady on, then turn the steam control knob to release steam for 2 minutes (Fig. 44). Then turn the knob back to the "0" to stop (Fig. 47).
- Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the power and let the descending agent settle in the coffee maker (15 minutes is recommended). Then repeat Step 2 to Step 6 above at least 3 times.
- Fill the water tank with distilled water, and then preheat the coffee maker (Fig. 6 to Fig. 20). Repeat Step 3 to Step 5 at least 3 times to flush away any residues and the descaler solution in the coffee maker.
NOTE: Avoid pouring the water/descaler solution into an enamelled water basin. Do not reuse the same solution. In case of unsatisfactory results, repeat the steps above.
- Alternatively, you can follow the steps above and clean the coffee maker with a vinegar solution comprising 3 cups of white vinegar and then water up to the MAX mark (Fig. 4).
